...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed...
Patrick Henry (1736-1799) US Founding Father

Are Democrats great or what? Obama tanks the economy, spends trillions of dollars we don't have on things we don't want, then gives us a tax credit in hopes we'll spend it all to make him look better and now millions will have to pay part of it back to the government.

The thugs from Chicago can't run a refrigerator let alone a government.

I haven't had the time to check old speeches, but there is a possibility that Joe cribbed this insight from somebody else. Even if he did, he has brought a smile to a lot of people, probably the majority of Americans, so at least he has that going for him.

THE GOLDEN PHONEA highly recruited high school football player was visiting Big Ten schools to try and find the best college for him.

His first stop was at Ann Arbor. When he got there, head coach Rich Rodriguez immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God" and hung up.The boy was shocked by all this. He asked the coach what was so special about the golden phone.

"Well, this phone is a direct line to God. And God tells us whether or not new recruits would be stars at our college."

The young athlete asked if he could use the phone to ask God what college he should pick. "Sure, you can! But it's going to cost you $250. Calling Heaven isn't cheap." The boy didn't have that kind of money so he moved along.

His next stop was Minnesota. Once at Tim Brewster's office, Coach Brewster immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God" and hung up.

The boy said, "Hey, I've seen those phones before. Can I use yours to call God and ask what college I should pick?" Sure, Brewster said, "Sure, but it's going to cost you $200. Calling Heaven isn't cheap." Again, not having that kind of money, the boy left.

His next stop was Happy Valley. Upon arrival at Joe Pa's office, Coach Paterno picked up a golden telephone, talked to God, said, "Thanks," and hung up.

The boy just had to use that phone, so he said, "Coach, I really need to use that golden telephone so I can call God and ask him which college I should choose." Coach Paterno said "You can but it will cost you $150. Calling heaven is not cheap."

The boy left since he did not have that kind of money. His last stop for the boy was Ohio State. He went in Coach Tressel's office and he saw a golden phone here also. Coach Tressel got on the golden phone and talked a few minutes and said, "Thanks, God" and hung up.

The boy said, “Can I use that phone to find out where I should go, to school?” Coach Tressel said, "Well, sure go ahead."

The boy said, "From Michigan it was going to cost me $250 to use their phone. From Minnesota they wanted $200 and Penn State wanted $150.

Under the proposal, the U.S. Department of Transportation would do for transit what it does for airlines and Amtrak: set and enforce federal regulations to ensure that millions of passengers get to their destinations safely.

Well, we know what a fabulous experience Amtrak is and now they want to bring their expertise to our cities. I smell unions.
